## What the media says

**Video transcript** (1:59), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his:

> Mr. President, on the State of America Act, you are now urging Republicans to add that to this third reconciliation bill. What's your perspective on why election integrity matters so much for national security from your perspective? Well, we need it for our elections. We need to have voter identification, which we don't have right now on a national basis. We need it for, and the voter ID is very important, we need it for proof of citizenship, if you believe it. When the Democrats are fighting, they don't want you to prove your citizenship when you vote. You know why they want that? Because they cheat. And we also wanted mail-in voting where you have people that are sent seven, eight ballots, two ballots, four ballots, and a lot of them signed those ballots, mail-in voting, and we want to be very judicious if you're in the military and you're far away or if you're handicapped or if you're sick or if you're on vacation that you have a- but you're not going to- millions and millions, look at California, they send out millions of ballots, tens of millions, they have no idea what's going on. Those elections are so corrupt, so we have a mail-in ballot, then we have no men, and we add two more. No men in women's sports, we're talking about saving America, right? No men in women's sports, another one, very popular, I think it's 99 to 1, they say it's 80-20, I think it's 99 to 1. And we have no mutilization of your children for transgender purposes, so let's see, transgender mutilization of your children. Does that sound good with you guys, General? Because you're not into transgender mutilization of your children. Not at all, not at all, sir. Well, your child leaves your house and they take your child from you in some- think of it, in six states, they take the child and do what they want to do. What they do is- I don't even want to talk about it. We add that no transgender mutilization of your children.

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-09-09T16:41:05.157Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._

## Summary

A media-only post: a bare video clip, no caption, published 11:17 AM EDT the day after the July 4 Lincoln Memorial event — timing and form consistent with staff selection rather than personal posting. No written text exists, so no stylometric evidence is available; the attribution question is only who chose the clip.

The transcript shows the subject himself speaking at a roundtable, bundling election-fraud claims with "no men in women's sports" and opposition to pediatric gender medicine under a "saving America" frame. Three features are clinically notable. First, epistemic self-authorization: offered an accurate external figure ("they say it's 80-20"), he rejects it and repeats his own intuition ("I think it's 99 to 1"), positioning the self as a superior measuring instrument. Second, a public affirmation ritual — soliciting and then including in the excerpt a uniformed subordinate's forced on-camera assent. Third, pathological distortion: state shield laws that keep government out of the family are inverted into laws by which the state seizes children.

Defenses: projection ("because they cheat"), splitting, distortion, apophasis. State is grandiose, not vulnerable; rage absent; affect didactic. Danger is rated elevated on the predatory-outgroup and child-endangerment architecture, mitigated substantially by an exclusively legislative proposed remedy and no call to action.

Cognitive markers — the stabilized non-word "mutilization" (×4), a negation reversal, abandoned clause chains — are present but broadly within this speaker's extemporaneous baseline.

## Post-Level Analysis — Truth Social, 2026-07-05, 15:17:23 UTC

### 0. Nature of the artifact

This is a **media-only post**: a video clip with no caption, no commentary, no emoji, no framing text of any kind. There is therefore **zero written-language evidence** — no typography, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, or syntax authored by the subject. Stylometric analysis is unavailable and is not scored below.

The transcript, however, is not ambient noise or music. It carries dense propositional content, and it makes clear the subject himself is the primary speaker: a reporter opens with "Mr. President, on the State of America Act…" and the subsequent answer is delivered in the subject's characteristic first-person voice, including a direct address to an aide ("Does that sound good with you guys, General?"). The clip appears to be from a roundtable or gaggle with military/Cabinet personnel present.

Accordingly, two distinct behaviors are analyzable: (a) **the speech act itself**, since the subject is the speaker; and (b) **the curatorial act** — the decision to excise this particular ~90 seconds, from an appearance that certainly contained much else, and republish it bare to a follower audience with no interpretive scaffolding. The absence of a caption is itself a choice: it signals that the clip is judged to require no argument, that it is self-evidently favorable, and that the audience is trusted to supply the missing frame.

---

### 1. Authorship attribution

**Timing.** 15:17 UTC converts to **11:17 AM EDT** — the day after the July 4 "Tribute to America" event at the Lincoln Memorial, with the subject presumptively in the Washington/East Coast timezone. This is squarely within business hours and squarely outside the 10pm–6am window associated with unmediated personal posting.

**Form.** Bare video, no caption, clean single-media attachment. This is the signature of a **staff clip operation**: someone reviewed footage, selected an excerpt, cut it, uploaded it, and posted it during a workday morning. The subject rarely posts video without at least a fragment of commentary when he is driving the account himself; the caption-free clip drop is the house style of the communications shop.

**Critical caveat.** With no written text there is nothing to attribute in the stylometric sense. The score below answers only the narrow question of **who selected and uploaded the clip**, not who authored language — because no language was authored. The words in the video are the subject's own, spoken at a prior event; that is a separate fact from who posted them. Confidence is capped at **low** accordingly, and no typo/error/drift evidence was scored.

**Score: 0.35** (leaning staff-selected), **confidence: low**.

---

### 2. Psychological state and triggers

The affective register is **didactic-grandiose rather than enraged**. The subject is holding forth, enumerating, instructing — the posture of a man explaining self-evident truths to an audience presumed to already agree. There is no wounded or persecuted register here; the vulnerable-narcissistic pole is absent. State is **grandiose**, though at moderate rather than peak amplitude.

Three dynamics are worth flagging:

**(a) Epistemic self-authorization.** The most psychologically revealing line in the clip is: *"I think it's 99 to 1, they say it's 80-20, I think it's 99 to 1."* Here the subject is presented with an external empirical figure — one that already strongly favors his position — and rejects it in favor of his own intuition, then **repeats his own number a second time** to close the loop. Actual polling on the question sits near the 79–80% mark, i.e., "they" are right. This is not a factual error made in ignorance; it is a factual correction *received and overridden*. The self is positioned as a more reliable instrument than measurement. This is a compact, almost laboratory-clean instance of grandiosity operating as an epistemology.

**(b) Public affirmation ritual.** *"Does that sound good with you guys, General? Because you're not into transgender mutilization of your children."* — *"Not at all, not at all, sir."* The subject solicits, on camera, a subordinate's public endorsement of a position, phrasing the prompt so that only assent is available. The uniformed officer's doubled, deferential compliance is then included in the excerpt. This is **supply-seeking with a loyalty-test structure**: the value of the exchange is not informational (nobody doubted the answer) but demonstrative — it shows the audience that the room agrees, and that agreement is extracted rather than volunteered. That the clip was cut to *include* the officer's answer indicates the ritual, not the policy content, is part of what was being sold.

**(c) Possible diversionary function (low confidence).** Three days before this post, a court-ordered DOJ deadline to unredact additional Epstein files passed without compliance — a matter directly adverse to the subject. The clip published here concerns entirely different subject matter and casts the subject as a protector of children. The juxtaposition is noted for the longitudinal record; a single post cannot establish diversionary intent, and topic-shifting is also simply what a communications shop does daily. **Confidence: low.** Worth tracking whether child-protection framing rises in frequency during Epstein news cycles — that is a testable longitudinal hypothesis, not a claim about this post.

**Trigger classification:** primarily **maintenance** (routine content supply to an aligned audience), with a **preemptive-attack** substrate in the election-fraud material, which pre-delegitimizes contests not yet held.

---

### 3. Defense mechanisms

- **Projection (immature).** *"You know why they want that? Because they cheat."* An accusation of systematic dishonesty is attributed to opponents on the basis of asserted motive rather than evidence. The structure — *they oppose the safeguard because they are guilty of the thing the safeguard would catch* — is unfalsifiable by construction: opposition becomes the proof.
- **Splitting (immature).** The moral field is fully binary. One side wants integrity, safety, and children protected; the other cheats, corrupts elections, and mutilates children. No intermediate positions, competing values, or good-faith disagreement exist in the account.
- **Distortion (pathological).** *"In six states, they take the child and do what they want to do."* The referent is almost certainly state "shield" or refuge statutes, which shield families and clinicians from out-of-state prosecution. The subject has inverted their operation: laws that keep the state out of the family are described as laws by which the state seizes the child. This is not exaggeration of a real feature; it is reversal of the feature's direction.
- **Rationalization (neurotic).** The carve-outs offered — *"if you're in the military and you're far away or if you're handicapped or if you're sick or if you're on vacation"* — perform reasonableness around a maximal position, allowing the sweeping claim to travel under cover of moderation.
- **Reaction formation / moral inversion (noted, medium confidence).** *"What they do is — I don't even want to talk about it."* Ostentatious refusal to name the alleged act invites the audience to imagine something worse than any statable fact. Rhetorically this is apophasis; defensively it functions to place unspecified maximal harm on the other side of the moral line.

---

### 4. Rhetorical and propaganda architecture

The clip has a clear three-beat structure, and the beats are not thematically related — they are related **by their emotional payload**:

1. **Election integrity** → the machinery is rigged.
2. **"No men in women's sports"** → fairness violated, described as near-unanimous.
3. **"No mutilization of your children"** → children are being harmed.

Beat 1 is contested and abstract. Beat 3 is visceral and, if believed, unanswerable. The sequence is **escalatory by design**: each item is more emotionally loaded and less arguable than the last, and the packaging (*"we add two more," "we're talking about saving America"*) binds all three into a single indivisible bundle — accept the frame on children and you have accepted the frame on ballots.

Devices in play: **hyperbole and superlative inflation** ("so corrupt," "tens of millions," "99 to 1"); **firehose numeric escalation** ("seven, eight ballots, two ballots, four ballots" — a spray of figures whose internal inconsistency is not a flaw but a feature, since no single number is defended long enough to be checked); **false dichotomy**; **motive imputation**; **appeal to fear via child endangerment**; **apophasis**; **synecdoche of the villain** (California standing in for all mail voting); and **manufactured consensus** (the General's on-camera assent; the self-corrected 99-1 figure).

The **"your children"** possessive is the single most potent construction in the clip. It converts a policy dispute about a small minority into a threat aimed at every listener's own household. Combined with *"your child leaves your house and they take your child from you"* — a kidnapping frame — this is the **predatory-outgroup schema**, in which a disfavored group is characterized as posing bodily danger to the audience's children. This structure has a long and well-documented history as a precursor to mobilization against minority groups, and it is the reason the danger rating below is elevated rather than none, notwithstanding the complete absence of any call to action.

---

### 5. Danger assessment

**Level: elevated.** Justification and limits:

- **Present:** bodily-harm imagery ("mutilization," repeated four times); child-abduction framing ("they take the child"); an identified out-group ("they," "six states," "the Democrats"); an articulated grievance; and moral framing that positions the target as beyond negotiation.
- **Absent:** any call to action, any named individual target, any mobilization language, any implied timeline, any endorsement of extralegal remedy. The proposed remedy is explicitly **legislative** — a reconciliation bill. This is the crucial mitigating fact, and it is why this is not scored as stochastic terrorism.

The elevated rating reflects **rhetorical architecture with known downstream risk**, not an imminent-incitement judgment. The relevant risk is diffuse and third-party: audience members who fully accept a child-mutilation frame may not confine themselves to legislative remedies, and providers and families in the named states are the plausible receiving end. That risk is a property of the frame's repetition across a movement's information environment, not of this single clip.

---

### 6. Cognitive observations

Standard caution applies: this is **automatic speech-to-text of extemporaneous oral remarks**, a register in which disfluency is normal for any speaker and in which the subject's documented lifetime baseline is already loose, digressive, and clause-abandoning. Nothing here should be read as decline without longitudinal comparison against gaggle footage from comparable settings.

With that said, several features are on the record:

- **"Mutilization"** — a consistent non-word substitution for *mutilation*, produced **four times without self-correction**. Its consistency argues against transcription artifact and for genuine lexical substitution; the subject has produced this form before, which suggests a stabilized idiosyncratic entry rather than an acute error.
- **Negation reversal** — *"we also wanted mail-in voting"* where the entire surrounding argument establishes the opposite. The polarity of the sentence inverts against its own context.
- **Abandoned clause chains** — *"that you have a— but you're not going to— millions and millions, look at California"* — three successive constructions launched and dropped inside one breath group, with the eventual landing point unrelated to the launch.
- **Perseveration** — "no men in women's sports" (×2), "mutilization of your children" (×4), "99 to 1" (×2).
- **Numeric instability** — "seven, eight ballots, two ballots, four ballots" (non-monotonic, unanchored); "millions… tens of millions."
- **Orphaned fragment** — *"we need it for, and the voter ID is very important, we need it for proof of citizenship, if you believe it"* — a self-interruption plus a trailing tag with no clear referent.

**Assessment: slight deviation from baseline.** The disfluency profile is broadly consistent with the subject's long-standing extemporaneous style. The items of most interest for longitudinal tracking are the stabilized neologism and the negation reversal, neither of which is individually diagnostic. Complexity is low: short clauses, high-frequency vocabulary, minimal subordination, associative rather than logical transitions.

---

### 7. Multi-level personality formulation

**Level 1 (traits).** Very low agreeableness (motive imputation, contempt, zero acknowledgment of good faith); high extraversion-assertiveness (dominates the exchange, directs a subordinate, sets the terms); low openness (values rigidity; empirical correction refused when it conflicts with intuition); moderate neuroticism, expressed as angry hostility rather than anxiety; low-moderate conscientiousness (deliberation is absent; numbers are asserted rather than checked).

**Level 2 (motives).** Agency dominant — control over electoral machinery, over what counts as true, over the room. Communion appears in **instrumentalized** form: the protection of children is invoked as warrant for dominance, and the affiliative appeal ("your children," "with you guys, General") functions to consolidate an in-group rather than to extend care. Dominant motive: **power**.

**Level 3 (narrative).** Protagonist: **the protector-restorer**, the one who names the corruption and legislates it away. Contrasting other: a composite antagonist that fuses electoral cheats, sports interlopers, and child-harmers into one enemy — the fusion is the narrative work being done. Sequence: **redemption** — a contaminated present ("those elections are so corrupt," children taken) resolved by his intervention ("we're talking about saving America"). Identity claims: guardian of children, defender of women, restorer of honest elections, arbiter of what the public really thinks.

**Level 4 (clinical indicators).** Consistent with grandiose narcissistic organization (self as superior epistemic instrument; extracted public affirmation) with prominent **paranoid features** (systematic hidden cheating; hostile motive attributed without evidence; concealed institutional predation). Antisocial features are moderate, chiefly the indifference to accuracy in claims that carry real defamatory weight. **Sadism is low** — there is no evident pleasure in humiliation here; the affect is instructional and self-satisfied rather than cruel.

**Archetypal reading.** Predominantly **Hero/Savior** with **Warrior** substrate — the rescuer of children and of the ballot, defining himself against a hidden corruption. Shadow content is notable: themes of predation upon minors and of concealed wrongdoing are projected outward with unusual intensity during a week in which those same themes were being litigated against him. This is offered as an observation about thematic co-occurrence, not as a causal claim.

**Order/chaos positioning.** **Order restorer**, with the characteristic asymmetry: order and protection are promised to "your children" and honest voters; chaos and coercion are assigned to Democrats, California, and the six unnamed states. Hierarchy is restructured — parental authority and the subject's own authority elevated; state governments, election administrators, and clinicians diminished.

---

### 8. Summary judgment

A caption-free clip drop, posted mid-morning, almost certainly by staff, in which the subject bundles election-fraud claims with two culture-war planks under a "saving America" banner. Three features distinguish it from routine: an explicit override of a correct external statistic in favor of his own intuition; an on-camera extracted endorsement from a uniformed subordinate; and a child-endangerment frame built on a directional inversion of what the referenced laws actually do. Danger is elevated on rhetorical architecture, mitigated by an exclusively legislative remedy. Cognitive markers are present but broadly within this speaker's oral baseline.

## Fact Verification

| Claim | Verdict | Evidence |
|-------|---------|----------|
| "The United States does not have voter identification requirements on a national basis." | **Mostly True** | There is no uniform federal voter ID requirement for in-person voting; identification rules are set state by state and vary from strict photo ID to signature-only. The Help America Vote Act does impose an identification requirement on certain first-time voters who registered by mail, so a narrow federal ID provision exists, but the broad characterization that no national voter ID regime is in place is accurate. |
| "Democrats oppose proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting because they cheat." | **Mostly False** | The factual predicate is not supported. Audits and studies across multiple states have found non-citizen voting to occur at vanishingly small rates — on the order of a few instances per million ballots — and no federal or state election has been overturned on that basis. Documented Democratic objections to proof-of-citizenship mandates rest on the documented burden such requirements place on eligible citizens who lack ready access to birth certificates or passports, an effect measured in registration data. The attribution of cheating as the motive is an imputation rather than a finding. |
| "Under mail-in voting, people are sent seven, eight, two, or four ballots, and many of them sign and return those ballots." | **Mostly False** | Duplicate mailings do occur when voter rolls contain outdated entries — a voter who moved, or a deceased registrant not yet removed. But mailed ballots carry unique barcodes and signature-verification requirements, and election systems reject duplicates from the same registrant. There is no evidentiary basis for the claim that recipients of multiple ballots routinely sign and successfully cast them; post-election audits in mail-voting states have found such double-voting in the low dozens out of millions of ballots, with cases referred for prosecution. |
| "California sends out millions, even tens of millions, of ballots." | **Mostly True** | California mails a ballot to every active registered voter under law enacted in 2021. With roughly 22-23 million registered voters, statewide mailings in a general election do reach into the low tens of millions. The volume figure is essentially accurate. |
| "California elections are 'so corrupt' and administrators 'have no idea what's going on.'" | **False** | No audit, court finding, or certification dispute supports a claim of systemic corruption in California elections. California conducts post-election manual tally audits, uses signature verification and ballot tracking, and its results have been certified without successful legal challenge on fraud grounds. Prosecutions for election fraud in the state are individually rare and involve small numbers of ballots. |
| "Public opinion on barring transgender women from women's sports is 99 to 1, not 80 to 20." | **False** | Major national surveys place opposition to transgender women competing in women's sports at roughly 67 to 80 percent, not 99 percent. A New York Times/Ipsos survey found about 79 percent, and Gallup has reported figures in the same range. The 80-20 figure the speaker attributes to others and then rejects is closer to the measured value than the 99-1 figure he substitutes for it. |
| "In six states, authorities take a child from the parents and 'do what they want to do' regarding gender transition." | **False** | The reference is to state shield or refuge laws enacted in a set of states including California, Washington, and Illinois. Those statutes protect families and clinicians from out-of-state subpoenas, extradition, and prosecution related to gender-affirming care; they do not grant states authority to remove children from non-consenting parents. Child removal in every state remains governed by dependency and neglect statutes requiring judicial findings. The described mechanism inverts what the laws do. |

- Apophasis ('I don't even want to talk about it') recruits the listener's imagination to supply the worst case
- Caption-free publication signals the clip needs no argument — the audience is trusted to already share the frame

## Danger Assessment

**ELEVATED**

### Indicators

- Predatory-outgroup schema: a disfavored minority and the institutions serving it characterized as inflicting bodily harm on the audience's children ('mutilization of your children', repeated four times)
- Child-abduction framing: 'your child leaves your house and they take your child from you' — state actors depicted as seizing children from parents
- Bodily-harm imagery sustained across the segment
- Identified out-groups: 'the Democrats', 'six states', California election administration
- Articulated grievance framed as ongoing and unaddressed
- Moral framing placing the target beyond negotiation ('I don't even want to talk about it')
- MITIGATING: no call to action, no named individual target, no mobilization language, no implied timeline
- MITIGATING: the proposed remedy is explicitly legislative — inclusion in a reconciliation bill

### Gaslighting

- Assertion that opponents oppose citizenship verification specifically 'because they cheat' — an unfalsifiable structure in which disagreement is itself offered as evidence of guilt
- Blanket characterization of California elections as 'so corrupt' and administrators as having 'no idea what's going on', absent any supporting finding
- Rejection of a supplied accurate poll figure ('they say it's 80-20') in favor of a self-generated one, repeated for emphasis — reality-testing subordinated to preference
- Directional inversion of what shield laws do, presenting protections against state intrusion as mechanisms of state seizure
- Preemptive delegitimization of election outcomes not yet contested, establishing a frame that can absorb any future result

## Fact Checks (7)

_The model's verdicts from 2026-09-09._

> The United States does not have voter identification requirements on a national basis.

**MOSTLY TRUE**

There is no uniform federal voter ID requirement for in-person voting; identification rules are set state by state and vary from strict photo ID to signature-only. The Help America Vote Act does impose an identification requirement on certain first-time voters who registered by mail, so a narrow federal ID provision exists, but the broad characterization that no national voter ID regime is in place is accurate.

Sources: Help America Vote Act of 2002, Sec. 303(b); National Conference of State Legislatures, Voter ID laws overview

> Democrats oppose proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting because they cheat.

**MOSTLY FALSE**

The factual predicate is not supported. Audits and studies across multiple states have found non-citizen voting to occur at vanishingly small rates — on the order of a few instances per million ballots — and no federal or state election has been overturned on that basis. Documented Democratic objections to proof-of-citizenship mandates rest on the documented burden such requirements place on eligible citizens who lack ready access to birth certificates or passports, an effect measured in registration data. The attribution of cheating as the motive is an imputation rather than a finding.

Sources: Brennan Center for Justice, studies of non-citizen voting rates; Georgia Secretary of State citizenship audit findings; Kansas proof-of-citizenship litigation record (Fish v. Kobach)

> Under mail-in voting, people are sent seven, eight, two, or four ballots, and many of them sign and return those ballots.

**MOSTLY FALSE**

Duplicate mailings do occur when voter rolls contain outdated entries — a voter who moved, or a deceased registrant not yet removed. But mailed ballots carry unique barcodes and signature-verification requirements, and election systems reject duplicates from the same registrant. There is no evidentiary basis for the claim that recipients of multiple ballots routinely sign and successfully cast them; post-election audits in mail-voting states have found such double-voting in the low dozens out of millions of ballots, with cases referred for prosecution.

Sources: Washington and Oregon post-election audit reports; MIT Election Data and Science Lab, mail voting research

> California sends out millions, even tens of millions, of ballots.

**MOSTLY TRUE**

California mails a ballot to every active registered voter under law enacted in 2021. With roughly 22-23 million registered voters, statewide mailings in a general election do reach into the low tens of millions. The volume figure is essentially accurate.

Sources: California Assembly Bill 37 (2021); California Secretary of State voter registration reports

> California elections are 'so corrupt' and administrators 'have no idea what's going on.'

**FALSE**

No audit, court finding, or certification dispute supports a claim of systemic corruption in California elections. California conducts post-election manual tally audits, uses signature verification and ballot tracking, and its results have been certified without successful legal challenge on fraud grounds. Prosecutions for election fraud in the state are individually rare and involve small numbers of ballots.

Sources: California Secretary of State post-election audit procedures; California statewide election certification records

> Public opinion on barring transgender women from women's sports is 99 to 1, not 80 to 20.

**FALSE**

Major national surveys place opposition to transgender women competing in women's sports at roughly 67 to 80 percent, not 99 percent. A New York Times/Ipsos survey found about 79 percent, and Gallup has reported figures in the same range. The 80-20 figure the speaker attributes to others and then rejects is closer to the measured value than the 99-1 figure he substitutes for it.

Sources: New York Times/Ipsos survey on transgender athletes; Gallup polling on transgender participation in sports

> In six states, authorities take a child from the parents and 'do what they want to do' regarding gender transition.

**FALSE**

The reference is to state shield or refuge laws enacted in a set of states including California, Washington, and Illinois. Those statutes protect families and clinicians from out-of-state subpoenas, extradition, and prosecution related to gender-affirming care; they do not grant states authority to remove children from non-consenting parents. Child removal in every state remains governed by dependency and neglect statutes requiring judicial findings. The described mechanism inverts what the laws do.

## That day

_From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._

**A record-setting Fourth gave way to a morning spent on reflecting-pool algae and one judge's foreign birth**

Trump was still posting well past midnight, riding the high of the July 4th celebration he had headlined on the National Mall, and by the time he stopped the next evening he had posted more than a hundred times. Most of it was self-congratulation — the record fireworks, a crowd number he inflated, TikTok view counts, family photos, and a surprising amount of attention to how clean the Lincoln Reflecting Pool looked compared with Obama's. Running underneath was a harsher stream of borrowed material: six posts attacking the federal judiciary, four of them naming and picturing the same judge over her birth in Trinidad, plus a video claiming Haitian immigrants are part of a plot to replace American communities. Almost none of that angrier content was in his own words — it was two-week-old screenshots from other accounts, dumped out in one burst before lunch. He closed the day by reposting six of his own posts, then reposting the same six again eight minutes later.
